Maintaining Net Neutrality = Democracy intact!!!

I am an entrepreneur trying to manage the trials and tribulations of starting a small business. The wonderful thing about the internet is the fair and open nature of it and the ability for anyone to reach anyone - on a balanced and even playing field. Big business already has far to much power in the US government. Giving them even more power would utterly destroy everything wonderful that the world wide web has to offer and could potentially have utterly catastrophic effects on humanity.

Net Neutrality is essential to free speech, equal opportunity and economic innovation in America. Since the FCC removed this basic protection in 2005, the top executives of phone and cable companies have stated their intention to become the Internet's gatekeepers and to discriminate against Web sites that don't pay their added tolls.

This fundamental change would end the open Internet as we know it. It would damage my ability to connect with others, share information and participate in our 21st century democracy and economy. The FCC must ensure that broadband providers do not block, interfere with or discriminate against any lawful Internet traffic based on its ownership, source or destination.
